First-year Memphis coach Josh Pastner improved his already-impressive recruiting class when he added top-50 prospects Jelan Kendrick and Tarik Black during the early signing period. The Memphis recruiting class is loaded with seven prospects, five of which are ranked in the top 100 in the country.

Tennessee added elite power forward Tobias Harris to push its class to No. 4 in the rankings.

Missouri made a jump into the rankings at No. 11 with the signing of five-star prospect Tony Mitchell.

Marquette made a move up from No. 14 to No. 12 with the signing of athletic point guard Reggie Smith.

Here is a look at the team recruitings rankings after the early signing period.

First-year coach Josh Pastner secured a significant commitment when elite shooting guard Will Barton turned down a number of other programs to play for the Tigers. Pastner then defended his home turf and secured a commitment from Memphis native Jackson, giving the Tigers the most dynamic backcourt in the 2010 recruiting class. This five-star backcourt is strengthened even further with the addition of Crawford. Another Memphis native, Crawford is a four-star shooting guard known for his marksmanship from behind the arc. Joining Barton, Jackson and Crawford in Memphis will be Will Barton's brother Antonio, who is a solid three-star point guard prospect. Pastner finished off his class during the early signing period with signatures from Kendrick, a versatile and elite perimeter player, and Black, a high-energy rebounder and shot blocker.

Ohio State is in familiar territory near the top of the recruiting rankings. Thad Matta has plucked some of the top prospects in his region, creating a formidable seven-man class. Sullinger is the premier post player in 2010, while Thomas, a fellow five-star, is one of the top scoring forwards in the country. Sibert and Craft have a strong chemistry as backcourt teammates on the All Ohio Red travel squad. Smith is a unique player with a feel for passing the ball, and Weatherspoon is a tremendous athlete with a lot of potential.

Coach Roy Williams beat out Duke to land Barnes, the No. 2 prospect in the Rivals150, in one of the more intense recruiting sagas in recent years. Barnes joins Bullock, a five-star shooting guard with size and a pure shooting stroke. Marshall is a polished point guard who has a natural feel for the position. He has been performing like a college-ready player for the past couple of years.

The Tennessee class jumped into the top five behind the signing of Tobias Harris, the No. 5 prospect in the Rivals150. Tennessee previously had landed a formidable one-two scoring punch with the backcourt duo of McRae and Golden. McRae is a rangy wing player who can score off the catch and the dribble. Golden is a physical combo guard who thrives off scoring off the dribble.

There is a distinct international flavor to Syracuse's four-man recruiting class. The jewel of the class is de Melo, a highly skilled 7-footer from Brazil. Not far behind him talent-wise is Waiters, a physical combo guard. Fair is a versatile forward, and rounding out the class is Moussa Kieta - who is a shot-blocking specialist from Sudan.

The inside/outside duo of Payne and Appling headline Michigan State's class. Payne is a long athlete with great potential, and Appling is one of the top scoring guards in the country. Whereas Appling loves to attack off the dribble, Byrd is a standout catch-and-shoot wing with size. Rounding out the four-man class is Gauna, a big man with upside.

Duke landed an elite guard in Irving, who should be an immediate impact player as both a playmaker and scorer. Hairston, a steady four-star prospect, is an inside/outside threat at the forward position. Rounding out the class is Thornton, a physical and heady competitor who should be a solid role player for the Blue Devils.

Wake Forest continues to recruit on a national scale. Its five-man class includes a quartet of four-star prospects. McKie and Tabb are versatile combo forwards. Terrell is a smooth shooting wing who is capable of scoring buckets in bunches. Desrosiers is a face-up big man with a soft shooting touch. Chenault is a tough Philly guard who loves to attack the rim.

Coach Johnny Dawkins is attracting some top talent to Stanford. Powell, a five-star prospect, is an athletic big man with an ever-improving skill game and loads of potential. Brown, a four-star wing with good skills, also has his best basketball ahead of him. Bright is a gritty point guard who shoots it well from behind the arc. Gage is a finesse four-man with deep shooting range, while Huestis is an athletic combo forward.

Bruce Weber mined his home state for three highly regarded four-star prospects. Big things are expected from Richmond, who has been committed to the program since his freshman year. At nearly 7-feet tall, Leonard is athletic and progressively improving his skill game. Illinois hopes he develops into a dominant big man before the end of his career. Head, an athletic shooting guard who is the younger brother of former Illini star Luther Head, rounds out the class.

The 2009 recruiting class' loss is N.C. State's gain in the class of 2010. Brown, a highly ranked four-star combo guard, didn't make the cut academically and now joins the 2010 class. He is paired in the backcourt with five-star point guard Harrow, who - despite his small frame - is one of the most dynamic scorers in the class. Unfortunately for coach Sidney Lowe, four-star prospect Luke Cothron - a fall commitment - did not signing in the early period. Cothron is now considered just a soft NC State verbal.

Coach Mike Anderson has been known for overachieving with under-the-radar prospects, but this class has some star power at the top. Mitchell is an elite athlete with promising upside as a big-time wing scorer. Pressey is a dynamic ball-handler who can also score while running the point. Three-star prospects Green and Kreklow round out the class.

Coach Buzz Williams is bringing in the pieces for another high-powered backcourt. Blue, a five-star prospect, is considered one of the best combo guards in the country because of his skilled and physical play. Jones is a big-bodied wing who can do damage inside and outside. Williams added an athletic guard in Smith late in the early signing period.

Coach Ben Howland landed the big man he coveted in Smith. A huge presence inside, Smith hopes to be the next great UCLA big man. Joining Smith in the class is four-star guard Lamb, who is a do-everything type player on the perimeter.

First-year Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett is off to a strong recruiting start. Harrell, his first recruit and most prized recruit, is a complete shooting guard with a competitive streak. Harris is a versatile swing man who can really shoot from outside. A big man who worked his way into a four-star ranking, Johnson should be a rugged athlete for Bennett. Joining Johnson on the front line is Regan, a big man who can grind it out down low and step out and knock down a jumper. Virginia also added a versatile swing man in Mitchell.

Second-year coach Darrin Horn has created some impressive momentum on the recruiting front. His five-man class is led by Harris, a four-star big man with loads of potential. Ellington is a freakishly fast and strong four-star point guard. Slawson is another athletic post man with potential. Richardson, a scoring wing, and Smith - an athletic point guard - round out the class.

Maryland is experiencing a recruiting resurgence with its 2010 class. Gary Williams locked up a couple regional four-star prospects in Ross and Parker. Ross is an athletic wing who can shoot with range. Parker is a skilled and versatile combo forward. Williams looked westward to land Stoglin, a Rivals150 scoring guard out of Arizona. And Pankey, a three-star forward, rounds out the class.

Coach Billy Donovan has complained about his team's lack of toughness since the Gators' back-to-back national championships. His 2010 recruits, Young and Prather, can have a big impact in fixing this problem. Young is an athletic player who can be a bully down low. He thrives on playing physical defense and attacking the boards, and his offense is coming along nicely. Prather is an athletic forward who is a tenacious on-the-ball defender. He can guard multiple positions, and he has a slashing offensive game.

A couple four-star combo guards named Johnson lead Purdue's 2010 recruiting class. Terone Johnson is powerfully built and is a big-time scorer who can also distribute the ball. Anthony Johnson, who has battled injuries, specializes in knocking down tough shots. On the front line, Purdue adds two blue-collar big men in Carroll and Hale.

Coach Trent Johnson certainly has the LSU program moving in the right direction. His 2010 recruiting class is led by Berenbecker, who is a highly skilled wing out of Louisiana. Stringer is a four-star point guard with a great long-range shot. Turner is also a shooter with a dose of athleticism on the wing. Rounding out the class is Courtney, who is a versatile forward.

The Aggies loaded up on big men. Oyedeji is a blossoming inside/outside threat. Alexander will stretch the defense with his long-range shooting ability in pick-and-pop situations. Davis is a high-level athlete with a blossoming physique and skill level. Roberson, who reclassified from the 2009 class, is physically advanced and has a solid skill game.

First-year coach Chris Mack secured the top recruiting class in the Atlantic-10 with a four-man class of Rivals150 prospects. Martin, a four-star player, is a deep shooter with athletic bounce. Both McKenzie and Latham are workmanlike posts who can score and play the four or the five. Canty is a long small forward who knows how to clean up the glass and defend.

Dayton also represents the Atlantic-10 in the 2010 team recruiting rankings with an impressive four-man class. Staten is a top-50 prospect who is a proven winner at the point guard position. Spearman is a lockdown defender and versatile offensive player. Berry is known for his scoring prowess, and Hill - a developing big man - rounds out the class along with wing prospect Oliver.

Baylor is in the 2010 team recruiting rankings behind the enormously talented Jones. An exceptional athlete at 6 feet 10, Jones has the talent to be a program lifter his freshman year. Turner is an athletic wing scorer.

Leonard Hamilton has two solid four-star prospects committed to his program. Miller is an excellent floor general who hit the game-winning, long-range 3-pointer to down John Wall's team in the North Carolina state championship game. White is an intriguing combo forward with length and a developing skill game.
